Set alarm colors

The Colors tab of the Configuration dialog lets you set a number of color options for your run-time display. Through this dialog, you can:

• Differentiate types of alarm records by assigning different colors let users more easily identify alarm types.

• Configure colors to apply to specific priority ranges to differentiate alarm records by priority or severity (see note).

• Apply the color settings to an entire row or just to the column that contains the priority alarm.

• Set the control background color, the grid color, and the heading colors.

  Note: When the Client Mode property is set to show current alarms, only the Priority column setting is available; Severity is not available for current alarms. When Client Mode is set to show historical alarms, both Priority and Severity columns are supported. For more information, see Show current alarms and events and Show historical alarms and events.

  

An alarm display configured for historical alarms is shown below. The configuration settings are on the left, the run-time display is on the right.
